Popular Post Smzthy- Posted February 16, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted February 16, 2018 So there's a UGC mission that auto collects all of the blast shards within 5 minutes. I'd just like some confirmation as to whether or not this could lead to my list being flagged, as I will go from obtaining 50% of the shards, to all of them within a few minutes. This is the mission... 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Baker Posted February 16, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted February 16, 2018 Wow, that would save a lot of time searching. Nice that something like that is even possible. To answer your question, this can't be flagged in my opinion. You're just using in game exploits. Never seen a flag for that before. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terra Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 This wouldn't count IMO because it's been created as a UGC that anyone in the game can use. You're not using a save file so I think this is ok. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toogie53 Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 I have no idea. However, If you're worried about it. Let it run until you pop a trophy. Then quit. Restart a few hours later and pop the next trophy.. and so on... until you popped them all. This way you have easy collection but you can space out the time stamps.

Lance_87 Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 I think that most of the trophy disputes for Shards are for the first game as there's no UGC. This is more like the exploit i reported for Wipeout 2048 to auto-grind XP, so it shouldn't be flagged. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mekktor Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 That is ridiculously stupid. And great. As for getting flagged, that won't happen as long as someone (in this case you and the person who created that mission) didn't go outside the confines of the game itself (eg. using someone else's save file, modifying the game code). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toogie53 Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 Oh here is a definitive answer. based on the post linked below, it's totally fine to do this to get your shards. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the mission... This is the same method I used to get all of the blast shards and I never got flagged for it. Pretty good thing to use on your hard playthrough. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Specifically Things that are not flaggable: In-game glitches/exploits - These are considered mistakes not found or fixed by the developer by the time of the release of the game and due to them being able to be found by accident by anyone, it's not considered cheating. Additionally, deleting update data to use a glitch on a previous version of the game is also allowed and not a flaggable offense. Online glitches and exploits possible in-game are also allowed. This would clearly be a glitch/exploit. Available to anyone to use, doesn't require you to modify your console or use an unsigned save. I'm sure all the fastest times on the leaderboard have used this, and it is referenced in the .org guide (although not in the guide on this site) Should be totally safe 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PooPooBlast Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 Hooooooly smoookes! That is pretty awesome! Although I had fun collecting them with the ingame tracker and jumping on top of places and grinding on rails. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExHaseo Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 Using this method won't get you a flag. Even if it does, it will be easily reversed. Everything was earned in game, so there's no issue. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueDragonRR Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 That's pretty neat. Might have to remember this whenever I get around to playing this game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ_Radio Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 I don't know why people think this is such a big deal. All I did for the UGC missions was pick the shortest and easiest ones I can find. Did a bunch of them, popped the trophies, never went back. Blast Shards are fairly easy in this game because it's much more convenient having them on the map for you after you reach a certain point. In the first inFamous you had to print out a map for all the Blast Shard locations, mark them one by one, and carefully collect them in the three districts until you had all 350 of them. Not terrible with a pen and map handy, but collecting them without those is a real nightmare. Getting flagged for using a UGC mission to collect all the shards would be bullshit. It's really not any different from all those players doing the Bolt glitch in the first Ratchet and Clank. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrakeHellsing Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 I agree here, all in game stuff, I suppose so long as the shards are all in order, it'll be fine. After all, don't want to be like those that cheat on the first game and have the shard trophies pop out of order. Then again, the first game doesn't have anything like this in it, so the argument is pretty much void. But man, wish I knew about that when I played the game... unless a mission like that hadn't been made when I got the platinum in this game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
